Publisher's Summary

Learn about the science of Forensics with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series. Forensics is the use of science to solve crimes. The word “forensics” comes from the Latin term “for ensis”, which is closely related to the modern English word “forum”.

Forensic science has been used in some form for much of human history. For example, in 13th century China, writer Song Ci wrote how to examine a body to determine whether a victim had been drowned or strangled. Water in the lungs meant drowning.

Audible Editor Reviews

This introduction to forensics provides a brief history of the field as well as a more detailed overview of how crimes are investigated in a forensic examination. Subjects covered include the importance of not tampering with evidence, the use of fingerprint examinations, and the rise of both computer forensics and forensic psychology. Performer Ellouise Rothwell's voice is smooth and well-modulated, and the dramatic electronic music playing in the background compliments the material. A useful choice for students interested in pursuing the field, or for curious minds in general.
